Find the inverse of each of the matrices, if it exists. \(\begin{bmatrix}2&1\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\)
Solution and Explanation
Let A= \(\begin{bmatrix}2&1\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\)
We know that A = IA
so \(\begin{bmatrix}2&1\\1&1\end{bmatrix}\)= \(\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}A\)
\(\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\1&1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\0&1\end{bmatrix}A\) (R1->R1-R2)
\(\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\-1&2\end{bmatrix}A\) (R2->R2-R1)
\(\therefore\) A-1= \(\begin{bmatrix}1&-1\\-1&2\end{bmatrix}\)
Top Questions on Matrices
If \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ -2 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] then find \( A^{-1} \). Hence, solve the system of linear equations: \[ x - 2y = 10, \] \[ 2x - y - z = 8, \] \[ -2y + z = 7. \]
- Find x, y, z if
\[ \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -2 \\ 1 & -2 & 3 \\ -1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x-1 \\ y+1 \\ 2z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}. \] - Solve the following equations by the method of inversion: \( 2x-y+z=1 \), \( x+2y+3z=8 \), \( 3x+y-4z=1 \).
- If A is a matrix and K is a constant, then \( (KA)^T = K A^T \).
- Let both $AB'$ and $B'A$ be defined for matrices $A$ and $B$. If the order of $A$ is $n \times m$, then the order of $B$ is:

Invertible matrices
A matrix for which matrix inversion operation exists, given that it satisfies the requisite conditions is known as an invertible matrix. Any given square matrix A of order n × n is called invertible if and only if there exists, another n × n square matrix B such that, AB = BA = In, where In is an identity matrix of order n × n.
For example,
It can be observed that the determinant of the following matrices is non-zero.
